Yikes, you're bypassing thousands of years of oppression, abuse, and human suffering by casually equating a term that is primarily associated with a human owning another human to a different context.

There is a way to discuss if keeping intelligent artificial life under servitude without using those terms, especially if you're on a new account.

I presume you are aware that the word "robot" is taken from a Czech word (robota) meaning "slave"
